SilvertoGold replied to 0106's topic in Holland America Line
0106: Wonderful posts and tantalising photos. Also appreciate seeing your menus. Would you know the name of the Hotel General Manager? Great that you have Chef Schumann, a long term HAL Chef who turns our some real German desserts that are as stasty aas they look good! -
Fantastic to read you will posting your blog again. A treat each day to see what you are up to, how you spend your days onboard and on shore. With critical and informative insight into the ship, the cruise, the crew and officers yours is a blog we do not want to miss. Have a safe and quick flight, enjoy your time on what may be an unusual WC.

Thanks for sailing/ welcome back OBC
SilvertoGold replied to electro's topic in Holland America Line
This happens to us frequently when we book, speical offer or not. Same Mariner status, exact same number of days. A pain and time consuming to have to look up cruises under two accounts. And then make sure TA know which to use. I noticed I receive the mailouts and usually get the best pricing while DH never gets mailouts but sometimes his pricing is better. Ugh! -

We have never had a problem with this offer being non-combinable. -

SilvertoGold replied to electro's topic in Holland America Line
These OBCs are attached to your Mariner number, as POA1 says. Good for a specific time to book and receive it. This time varies (in our own experiences) so if you do not receive the email, ask your TA (or just phone HAL) to look up the expiry date. -
It can be a mix. For example some Thais and Indonesians in the Pinnacle. Our room stewards have always been Indonesian.

Wonderful thread, looking forward to your informative and fun posts (loved your shoe descriptions). Our fav cruise itinerary so we are excited and will be watching for your posts. Have a safe flight and enjoy this lovely ship. Thanks also for the links to your blogs which we will be reading one by one along with this thread.

The passion fruit yogurt bowl is excellent. Some granola and fruit make it delicious and a nice change for the muesli. DH loves the muesli but thought it had been changed enough on the Noordam in the spring to make it an unreliable choice.

I always love Victoria at Christmas! We will get online for the Butchart Garden tickets: haven't been there since I was at UVic. Will be walking a lot around town and seeing the sights, hoping some boats in the Inner Harbour are lit up, too. Have yourself a Merry Christmas!

MOLAcruiser: Have a great cruise! Hope Victoria is ready for Christmas since we will be on BCFerries next week coming over for a few days for an English Christmas break!

BTimmer's Almost Live Grand South America 10/7/23 -12/19/2023

I hope at the end of your days in the Amazon the Captain will let all know how much water was saved. On one of our Amazon trips the Captain seemed quite happy with our 33% savings. -

Sail Standby for $49 a day- new program
SilvertoGold replied to BermudaBound2014's topic in Holland America Line
I hope, hope, hope they do this for the Alaska cruises next year! Fantastic! I wonder if this is CND or USD for the $49 and taxes on the cruises out of Vancouver? -
Last year CND were at par on HAL for a while, excellent deals! I haven't seen anything this year to compare as far as CND go. HAL did have an excellent Alaska 14 day deal this year. even at CND pricing it was worth our booking multiple times!
-
I hope HAL starts this type of promo for different cruise areas, starting with BC residents for Alaska :)

This might depend on the cruise line, how they do the disembarkation. We sail HAL and would be leary of booking a flight until noon, even with self-dismbarkation where you carry your own bags off. It might work well, but all the little 'what ifs" could lead to a real headache.
